Ever since they left Wanjie City, Zhang Chenghua, the team leader, had not been very prominent within the group. Most of the specific affairs were handled by Lu Songsheng, who was more humble in nature compared to Zhang Chenghua and not as unapproachable. Because of this, the people of Wanjie City felt more inclined to be close to Lu Songsheng and, to a certain extent, kept a respectful distance from Zhang Chenghua.

However, now, when Zhang Chenghua released the Ink Flood Dragon and expressed his willingness to let the people of Wanjie City ride it, almost everyone showed an eager expression. This was a Second Level of the Nascent Soul Stage beast. Without this opportunity, most of them would never get the chance to come into contact with it in their lifetimes, let alone ride it.

Zhang Chenghua looked at Lu Songsheng triumphantly. Throughout the journey, he had found Lu Songsheng disagreeable in every aspect, especially after encountering Master Guanghao, who had continually belittled him. Although he knew it was all Master Guanghao’s conspiracy, he was really irked and felt an increased dislike towards Lu Songsheng. Now, by showcasing the Ink Flood Dragon and offering rides to everyone, he aimed to win people’s hearts, thus affirming his position as the legitimate chief leader of the team. If it weren’t for this purpose, he would never have let the people of Wanjie use the Ink Flood Dragon as a mount.

“Come, come, don’t be shy. Hurry and get on the back of the Ink Flood Dragon; we’re leaving right away.”

As Zhang Chenghua eagerly called out, he spoke to Qi Tian, “You few better not come up. The Ink Flood Dragon, though long, has limited length, and the spaces available are even fewer. You three should find your way to the inn.”

Yi Xuwen’s face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, “Vice President Zhang, what do you mean by this?”

Zhang Chenghua looked innocent and replied, “I mean nothing by it. Haven’t I explained already? I’m not deliberately targeting the three of you from the National Master Manor. It’s really just that space is limited, so I can only ask the three of you sirs to show some understanding. There’s really no other implication.”

Yi Xuwen was so angry that he was at a loss for words. After all, he was also a Nascent Soul Master, and he was the Mansion Master of the National Master Manor. While in Wanjie City, Zhang Chenghua might have looked down on him, but he had never been so blatantly disrespectful as he was now.

Zhang Chenghua, still not satisfied, continued, “This arrangement is a last resort. If you think I’m being unfair, then you can ask everyone here who would be willing to give up their chance to ride the Ink Flood Dragon in your favor. Anyone? If so, please raise your hand.”

No one made a sound. The people of Wanjie City were partly intimidated by Zhang Chenghua’s authority, not daring to publicly oppose his arrangements. On the other hand, they truly did not want to miss the chance to ride the Ink Flood Dragon. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only satisfying their vanity but possibly also allowing them to learn how Zhang Chenghua controlled the Ink Flood Dragon, secrets that couldn’t be bought for any amount of money.

Zhang Chenghua laughed heartily and said, “Master Yi, do you see? It’s not that I didn’t give you a chance, but everyone doesn’t want to give up this opportunity, so you will have to sacrifice for the greater good. Everyone, please come aboard quickly. We are leaving soon.”

The people of Wanjie City avoided eye contact with Qi Tian and his group and leapt onto the back of the Ink Flood Dragon. Soon, most of them had found a spot on the dragon, leaving only the three from the National Master Manor and a few from Wanjie Commerce.

Lu Songsheng stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching everything after Zhang Chenghua had revealed the Ink Flood Dragon. Others from Wanjie Commerce, including some Nascent Soul Masters, also remained silent. They followed Lu Songsheng’s lead in everything, not engaging in actions that might displease him.

Zhang Chenghua waved at Lu Songsheng and said, “Vice President Lu, what are you waiting for? Come on up. We’ve reserved spaces for you—only the best spots, the finest arrangements. I might let others down, but I’d never let down the sirs from Wanjie Commerce.”

Lu Songsheng glanced at the Ink Flood Dragon and noticed that there were indeed several spots left on its back. If squeezed a bit, not only could their group fit, but Qi Tian’s three could also be accommodated without much trouble. Clearly, Zhang Chenghua’s refusal to let Qi Tian and his group board was a targeted act against Qi Tian.

Lu Songsheng silently shook his head. Although he had always been striving to maintain stability within the team, he was not without principles; he would not blindly cater to Zhang Chenghua.

He waved his hand and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, Vice President Zhang. However, it appears quite crowded on the back of the Ink Flood Dragon. Everyone squeezing together would not only be uncomfortable for us but would also increase the burden on the Ink Flood Dragon. Although I would like to experience riding the Ink Flood Dragon, I would prefer not to engage in actions that the dragon might find distasteful.”

Zhang Chenghua frowned. Lu Songsheng’s words were both a refusal of his offer and a veiled criticism that he did not consider the dragon’s feelings. He snorted coldly and said, “By the purity of my heart reflected by the moon, but alas, the moon shines over the ditch. Since Vice President Lu and your group are cautious about this and that, then it’s better to leave you behind. But don’t blame me for not warning you; space at the inn in the Holy Land is limited. If you don’t get there early, we will have taken all the best rooms, and you might end up with only the worst accommodations, or perhaps no room at all. By then, don’t come complaining.”
